"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect."
--Anaïs Nin

This quote gets to the heart of writing. It's a great one, which I'm going to save to use on my blog sometime. I believe we write to make sense of our past and present.
Happy New Year!
Glad you like it, Theresa! Happy New Year to you, too!
